Description
A beautiful card depicting sunset in Portreath North Cornwall to wish someone a Happy Birthday.
Thrift flowers are covering the cliffs above the monkey house pier.
The Monkey House dates back to the days when Portreath was a busy port, shipping copper out and coal in. Whilst the harbour was important the entrance was still treacherous. The Monkey House, although not known as that in those days was used for shelter by the harbour pilots who would wave flags or lanterns to guide ships into harbour, or warn away if conditions were too dangerous.
The small tower overlooking the harbour is known either as the Pepper Pot or The Lighthouse but it has never had a light.
